Tomorrow's front page: 'A wonder weight-loss jab helped patients shed 10lbs in just four weeks, experts have revealed'

"Compared to other methods the treatment is non-invasive and reduced glucose levels to near-normal levels in our patients."The jab mimics having a gastric band fitted - but without the side effects of surgery.

The chemical combination, known as GOP, reduces appetite, causes weight loss and improves the body's ability to use the sugar absorbed from food. It began releasing the hormones an hour before breakfast each day, and finished after the volunteers' last meal.Prof Tan's team said it was important to note the volunteers suffered no side effects.

Those who had bariatric surgery or followed the low-calorie diet lost significantly more weight - 22.7lbs and 18.3lbs respectively over the same time period.But Prof Tan added: "Although the weight loss was smaller, using the GOP infusion would be preferable as it has fewer side effects than bariatric surgery.

The team also found GOP treatment was capable of lowering blood glucose to near-normal, with little variation.But the levels were much more variable, leaving them vulnerable to low blood glucose.
